Joel Bear

Produced by KJ Creative

We know that behind every person working in their craft there's a story of adventure, industriousness, and passion that brought it to life. We also believe the freedom to pursue our passions is discovered in moments where we simply do the things we enjoy doing—things that strike a special chord in our unique, individual souls.

This is the last film in a featured serieshighlighting subjects that have created a livelihood centered on what they are passionate about. May they inspire you to discover what sets you free!

About the Producer

Kyle Johnston moved to Denver at the end of 2014 with the dream of starting his own video production company. After growing up as a kid with a video camera attached to his hip, shooting silly videos with friends, he’s moved from intern (2006) to lead cinematographer (2012) to lead director (2013). After directing a team of 6 in Sacramento, Kyle decided it was time for a change. He and his wife packed up, moved to the Colorado Rockies, and has since been shooting what he is most passionate about; commercial, non-profit and mini-documentary films with a focus on human narrative and perspective.
